I'm still having Issues with this , and though not a "Chief Problem" since it effects ALL installs and uninstalls, but today it was Chief in particular, but I found that Microsoft has a Tool / Troubleshooter for helping with this Issue too, which did the uninstall off the Old Computer fine today https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-cca7d1b6-65a9-3d98-426b-e9f927e1eb4d M.

Well I tried a few things that did not help, so I decided to try a Driver from before the 460 series, the same driver as my old computer is using and have found Nvidia Driver 457.51 ( links below) has thankfully worked for me.

Huawei devices are still available in CANADA too thanks for the Tip Renee , it something I expected the Pixels to have actually

I am using DP cables on all 3 monitors same as on the old computer, which I have now hooked up, to the same monitors, via the monitors hdmi ports instead and I don't see the issue there. Both computers are using Win10 125% scale on my 32" Benq monitors, that has changed old to new either. I only get the test issue with other's plans I open but then again I don't play with scaling on my own setup as that totally messes with the Desktop Icon layout...and I have many --- I'm old school that way I reinstalled Win10 this week ( lots of weirdness from Store install so did a Clean re-install) but have done some "tweaking" as normal, so it's possible, I have accidently done something, but I use the same settings on the old computer too. Their was a Windows Update on Tues. ( the usual 2nd tues. of every month they do) which seems to have messed with the Wireless mouse, so I have gone back to my Wired mouse for now, but I hadn't gotten Chief installed at that point , so can't say if that update had anything to do with it too. M.

It seems it is Side Window related...... if I double click the ALDO or PB so they rejoin the main window in the default position , the issue goes away again........ Opening a Schedule and putting/pulling it on to the LH screen for eg. ( I wish it would not go full screen Auto) does not make this happen...at least not yet .... It's like the Side Windows are now causing Chief to think it is wider than it really is....... but I have no idea why it happens on this computer and not the old one....same monitors and cables , same version of windows 10 too I think ... video cards as diff. ( see Sig.) a GTX 1070Ti vs a newer RTX 3080 Card. M.

Reset everything except toolbars and turned off the side monitors and Chief was okay again ...... Until......I put my Active Layer DBX back on the second screen and bam menu issue came back , so apparently me thinking this is not related to the other Menu Bug which seems to effect Toolbars only was wrong.... Only for me it means X12 is unusable on this computer currently..... M

Good thought ..........I will shut my other monitors off and see if it forces some kind of "reset" in Chief. thanks M.

Hey Chop..... thanks...been a busy month or so since I moved.... No luck so far on Reset , but didn't do Toolbars as they have been custom for a long time and I don't want to start again..... unless I really have too. Have tried 3 different Nvidia drivers including latest, all work fine except for this one issue and it isn't happening with other programs..... Will try a full re-install tomorrow probably...if I have time, may have to finish this job on the old system.

Hi, I finally have a new computer worthy of X13, hopefully it won't have this Issue, which I have never seen before or heard of here, and is not happening on my old computer, but when I click on a Menu on the menubar or one of the dropdown Icons the dropdown show 4 inches (?) to the left or right of the item clicked on....making Chief nearly unusable as sometimes the dropdown is on my 2nd screen even..... Running a repair install of Chief did not help........ nor has multiple reboots of the computer..... Any ideas please throw them out here , thanks. Mick. The Other (unrelated Toolbar) Menu Issue ( *** I may need to retract this statement after further investigation .....see lower down....) https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/29164-menu-bug/?tab=comments#comment-232387 M.

Yes that MB has (2) m2 slots which is why I was surprised you didn't already have one, just make sure to get a NVME m2 not a SATA m2 Drive , some m2 slots can take either but the SATA version is 5X-7X slower ... ie about 500mbs vs 3500mbs( but Cheaper) M.

Very good...... bit surprised it doesn't have a NVME SSD already ......a 500GB is likely enough for OS and programs but i suggest you get 1TB , the 2TB HDD will become a DATA drive. eg the Samsung 970 EVO Plus ( the Pro is not worth the extra in my opinion ) since you mention doing manual roof manipulation , I suspect the slowness now is your HDD, as chief is having to write the UNDO file to disk every time you make a change , and a PCIe NVME SSD should help alot as it is10-20X faster at least than a HDD ( a NVME SSD is 5x faster than SATA SSD too )

Not sure you need the 64 GB Ram kit, I don't think I have ever seen anyone reporting chief using more than 32GB, your Specs sound pretty good and should be fine for X13 as well. And as Michael mention 9.60 is a bit of a typo ...the i9900K is a 5.3ghz part under Boost , and still a good Chip. it is possible the computer maybe thermal throttling ( protecting itself) and may need Servicing, still under warranty ? get them to look at it.... https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-Z390M-MORTAR https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/i9-processors/i9-10900k.html M.

It does look like PBR with no background Image or Color Set ( other than the default White if a background isn't used )

It should stop two users opening the same file at the same time causing corruption

I would think two curved roof Planes should work..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00649/creating-a-curved-barrel-roof.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00688/joining-curved-roof-planes.html M.

This is the CA Symbol technique tutorial https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00344/modeling-a-subdivision-or-lot-with-multiple-structures.html

Did you start with Chief Gloss Cabinet Finishes ? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/931 M.

The Flare can be done more easily with a Molding Polyline and put around the whole home if needed with a Room molding polyline using the Exterior Room. Works pretty well with a bit of texture adjustment to make the shingles line up/match. M.

In cases like this the Pt. to Pt. Dimension , along with the Ctrl Key, (to stop it snapping to the snap grid) usually works too. M.

Or Using a Floor Camera shot on level 0 it will only show the Slab...... use a Full Overview M.

not sure you have the same plan as me ? or maybe I misunderstand something but I think he is talking about the drop in floor heights between the house and garage , ie the RED line he drew..... so it lines up with the Interior 2x4 wall. A room divider seems to work but not 100% Auto. ( turn off display of invisible walls (pic2) and curb is back too.

This post was 1st made back in 2017 or 2018 but was buried in a Thread , and seeing the same question asked again in Dec., I decided to put it over here in Tips too, to make it easier to find. In Win 10 190x the Settings App did not work for me and I had to use method above, there are however more options in Win 10 2004/202H though I see now that I have it. Mick.

Thanks for the Thanks it's good to know moving the Old Post here to Tips is letting others Find it easier , and make use of it. As Michael has pointed out in newer version of Windows 10, Microsoft is now able to also take Control via the Settings App, YMMV though. Mick.

No " insight " from me but you can do a CAD Detail From View , and Edit and send it to layout instead of the "Live" view of the 3D model Mick.
